QUAD LOCK ACCURACY TECHNOLOGY - A FOUR-WAY LOCK ON WORLD-DOMINATING PRECISION: DEADLOCK, TIMELOCK, DUAL LOCK LIMB POCKETS AND GRIPLOCK.
DEADLOCK CAM SYSTEM
Not only the quickest and simplest way to achieve perfect arrow flight, but the surest way to maintain it. Just move the cams left or right on the axles with a turn of a screw to position all the energy directly behind the arrow. Then lock it down for permanent, repeatable accuracy…all with a smooth-as-silk draw and outstanding speed.
DUAL LOCK POCKETS
Dual Lock limb pockets lock every component in the entire bow structure as one for the most rigid, accuracy-producing platform possible. The limbs lock into the pockets, and the pockets into the riser. This results in unwavering shot to shot consistency.
GRIPLOCK TECHNOLOGY
The fully customizable GripLock provides the ability to fine-tune grip angle with a simple Allen wrench. No need for multiple grips to get the perfect fit. With a simple turn of a screw, go from low to high wrist, or anywhere in between.
TIMELOCK SYSTEM
TimeLock’s unique no-bow press design allows for quick and easy cam positioning adjustment with a simple Allen wrench. Just loosen the locking screw, make the adjustment, then lock it back down for confidence it won’t move. *TimeLock is not available on the Reckoning GEN2 SD.
2-SIDED DRAW STOP
The 2-sided draw stop provides the ability to adjust the feel of the back wall, the choice is yours. Choose from a rock-solid stop, a lot of give, or anywhere in between, with a simple easy to make adjustment.
ORBIT DAMPENERS
The strategically positioned Orbit Dampeners are inset in-line with the travel of the string further reducing unwanted vibration and noise on the shot.
FLX GUARD CABLE CONTAINMENT
The FLX Guard is strategically designed to reduce tension on the cables and move to the side on the draw to reduce torque. On the shot, the FLX Guard moves the cables back to the natural position as the arrow leaves the bow. This promotes increased forgiveness and downrange accuracy.
FLIP DISC PRO
The FlipDisc Pro offers the ability to set the bow’s let-off in minutes. Flip the module to pick from 2 distinct let-off ranges and adjust to the archer’s preference.

[@stephenryder8143]

[@tommywagoner7669]

Were your speeds done in the performance mode?

[@wcwcgarner2717]

The bows were in comfort mode

[@tommywagoner7669]

​@@wcwcgarner2717 On performance mode how many fps do you gain? That appears to be pretty good speed on comfort and 29" or an I wrong?

[@wcwcgarner2717]

@@tommywagoner7669 I have a BOWTECH REVOLT you get a extra 10 fps. But it is not as fast as my Mathews V3X 29.
